This is how the Minneapolis Police Department originally reported on George Floyd's death. Film the police. https://t.co/XbZlMkbNeB — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Philonise, for testifying. What your family is going through is unimaginable. Congress owes it to you, your brother, your family and the thousands of organizers and protesters nationwide to act. Now. We must pass the Justice in Policing Act. https://t.co/vE3waNIMKw — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody deserves to die over $20. Nobody deserves the pain of watching their family member killed on video by police. George Floyd's death must not be in vain. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

How many times have we seen this happen? Few problems voting in white neighborhoods, but black and brown Americans waiting hours to vote. This is voter suppression. This is systemic racism. We need a new Voting Rights Act to put a stop to it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Many police departments seize property from people before they are even charged with a crime. I passed an amendment in 2017 to end civil asset forfeiture with bipartisan support. Police should never profit from the communities they serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

President Trump and Republicans will use this month’s unemployment numbers to say we don’t need another relief bill. They’re wrong. Millions of Americans are still struggling—and they need help now. Let's give them $2k/month for the duration of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If cities can afford to send out huge numbers of riot police to mostly peaceful protests, then why do teachers have to deal with huge class sizes, take on second jobs to pay their bills, and buy their own supplies? Let's invest more in educating people than policing them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Masks cost less than rubber bullets. Gloves cost less than tear gas canisters. If we can afford to fund riot police, why can't we provide PPE to essential workers who continue to risk their lives to keep our nation moving? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Do those who say that we can't afford to invest in College for All and public education have anything to say about the billions spent on police departments across the country? https://t.co/fCQMyEzc5c — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump is quietly rolling back environmental protections and endangering our planet. But especially now, this is callous. Pollution disproportionately affects people of color. As people protest racial inequality, Trump is using this moment to further it. https://t.co/4ymw2PexgO — PolitiTweet.org

This chart is for anyone who falsely thinks that police in some cities are more violent because neighborhoods are more dangerous. https://t.co/uHy7DkU26z — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The transformative action needed to meet this moment can't be accomplished through Congress alone. While we work on bold solutions nationwide, people must get involved locally in their communities. Governors, mayors and DAs also play a huge role in police reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Few police departments require officers to use all other means before deadly force. Those who do kill 25 percent fewer people. The PEACE Act will save lives by setting a national use-of-force standard and denying federal funding to any police department that doesn't adopt it. https://t.co/GeLABLE6tt — PolitiTweet.org

Trump applauds our economic numbers, but Black unemployment actually went up in May. COVID-19 is hitting Black Americans the hardest. They can’t be left out of our recovery. As people continue to protest, we must address inequality everywhere it exists. https://t.co/gcevhdJ7ll — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I stand with the peaceful protesters all across America demanding reform. Congress must act. Now. https://t.co/xWMCFQO3D3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The latest jobs report was a major improvement but please keep in mind: 🔹 The unemployment rate is the highest it's been since the Great Depression 🔹 The U.S. is confirming over 20,000 new COVID-19 cases every day. This pandemic isn't over. Congress must #PutPeopleFirst. — PolitiTweet.org

@m_mendozaferrer I have said the endorsement was a mistake and apologize for that endorsement and subsequent retraction to you and anyone else. I am committed to fighting to defeat trump and at least until November I feel we should all be in that direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The Supreme Court has made it clear that no-knock warrants are illegal unless there is specific proof that someone would destroy evidence or escape if police announced themselves. If officers followed the law, #BreonnaTaylor would be alive today. https://t.co/mQGvr81OQl — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We're in a public health crisis where millions have lost their health care. We're in an economic crisis where millions have lost their jobs or had hours cut. The Senate can't wait even one more minute to provide more help to the people who've been ignored for too long. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@CitizenSullivan @m_mendozaferrer But I appreciate your activism and will do anything in my power to make sure we defeat Trump and elect Biden. Right now we have much bigger concerns for our democracy and I am sure you would agree are on the same side in this battle. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@CitizenSullivan @m_mendozaferrer I was not aware of the details and graphic nature of comments. Many leading politicians have gone on his show many times as I did. That said I concede the endorsement was a mistake. And I did retract it. — PolitiTweet.org

@LoisEiler @m_mendozaferrer @CNN @brikeilarcnn Actually am. Working with Kamala Harris on the Peace Act to change standard of force. She’s introducing in Senate what Lacy and I did in House. Worked with Warren on essential worker bill of rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@m_mendozaferrer I did retract after that. I was asked on CNN abt that for first time. I said it was offensive but did not retract in the interview. A week or so later I did retract. I tweeted out a retraction and there are articles on that. But I concede it was a mistake and bad vetting. — PolitiTweet.org
